The last few days I have been extremely busy – I’ve been getting the new design for my official web site ready for update tomorrow, so I haven’t had the time to cook a decent meal. But there has been an interesting “quickie” dinner and a flavorsome leftover….

*Tuesday I combined a can of chili with cubes of Velveeta cheese and minced onion, then micro-waved the entire conglomeration. Next came boiled turkey hot dogs and toasted buns, on top of which I spooned the chili mixture. For homemade “fast food,” the meal wasn’t half-bad and of course delighted my junk-food junkie husband.

 

*Wednesday I took leftover spaghetti sauce and angel hair pasta, and combined it with fresh sliced and sautéed zucchini, both yellow and green. The vegetables were seasoned with pepper and garlic, and cooked in olive oil. The leftover sauce also contained button mushrooms, sliced black olives and Italian sausage. I tossed the whole lot together and served it with crusty French bread toasted with butter, garlic and parsley. A small spinach salad completed the meal.

Not bad for cooking on the fly; and not one complaint came forth from my perpetually hungry husband.
